Meet Over 20 'Life-sized' Dinosaur Exhibits Along The Changi Airport Park Connector & Other Exciting Reasons To Visit  

It is part of the 3.5km jogging and cycling path which was newly opened on Sunday (11 Oct).

Mums and dads, here’s one to add to your weekend activity list with the kids: the newly opened Changi Airport Connector that features a 3.5km cycling and jogging path, allowing you to ‘meet’ with over 20 life-sized dinosaur exhibits, rent bicycles, and enjoy local cuisine. 

The route also provides convenient access onwards to Jewel Changi Airport and the terminals. The park connector is open 24 hours and entry is free.

Starting from Terminal 2 of Changi Airport, the cycling and walking path is linked to East Coast Park and is home to the Changi Jurassic Mile — Singapore’s newest and largest permanent outdoor display of life-sized dinosaurs. 

Visitors will be able to get up close to 9 different dinosaur species along a 1km stretch of the park connector, located between the Terminal 4 pit stop and the entrance to East Coast Park. 

Officiated by Transport Minister and member of parliament Mr Ong Ye Kung at the opening on Sunday (11 Oct), some of the prehistoric species include the gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex, brontosaurus and pterodactyl.

En route the 1km path, visitors will learn more about these prehistoric creatures through the information panels that has been set up, as well as be accompanied by safari-themed music coming through from speakers.

According to a Changi Airport Group spokesperson, there will be safe distancing measures put in place and capacity for the Changi Jurassic Mile has been capped at a “a few hundred”.

Bookings are not required for weekday visits. Visitors will be admitted every 30 minutes, and are allowed to stay for up to one hour within the exhibit. 

“The new experiential elements injected along the Changi Jurassic Mile will offer all who visit a sense of adventure and surprise. With the Changi Airport Connector, we hope to give visitors a different experience of the airport,” said Mr Jayson Goh, CAG’s Managing Director for Airport Operations Management.
